      Expected Ending Cash Currency Balance: This displays the total amount of cash that should be in the drawer at the end of the day based on payments received. Typically, this field should not be displayed so that employees are encouraged to count the cash in the cash drawer.
       

      Cash In Drawer: The difference between the Cash In Drawer and Cash Left in Drawer is the amount that is deposited into the bank. For example, if the Cash in Drawer is $1500 and the Cash Left In Drawer is $150, then the amount listed in the Make Deposit screen is $1350 ($1500 - 150).

      End of Day Receipt: This report is also called the Closing Form. This report displays the cash drawer totals by payment method and any cash over/under amounts. Use the Email button to email the report to another employee. For example, the bookkeeper or office manager.

      • What if checks or credit card totals don't match? An employee with proper security must edit the customer payment record, or the bookkeeper can make an adjustment when completing the back deposit or merchant card sweep.
      • What if you want to recount the cash after the drawer is closed? The Undo Last Cash Drawer Close button is available for ONE hour after initially closing the cash drawer. This means you can recount the cash and print another End of Day Receipt. This is also helpful if a customer comes into the store after you closed the register.


      You cannot change the processing date 
      The processing date cannot be changed when opening and closing the cash drawer.  Transactions can be backdated within a session; however, the processing date must be set to the current date in order to open or close the drawer.
